One obstacle that I didn't consider was the flow of the banner. In my original design, I didn't think about the direction in which patrons would read the banner (from left to right). My mentors have been instrumental in providing edits to the design. It is crucial to include the perspectives of others as everyone reads a banner differently. There are so many things I didn't consider when I started, like the size of the font or the exact color of the background.

The banner had to look like it was designed by the same person. No pressure.
As my program approaches its last few weeks, I look forward to finishing the banner and polishing the website for the touch table. Follow us on Instagram @zoop_troupe to stay updated with my latest progress!
